The Shortstop Division
Did anyone notice that the players ranked two, five and six in National League slugging percentage are all shortstops from the NL East? Rollins, Ramirez and Reyes are all off to great starts. Rollins leads the league in home runs. Ramriez and Reyes are in the top ten in OBA. Reyes leads the league in steals. I'm impressed that Jose and Jimmy really improved their ability to get on base, although I'll be more convinced about Rollins when he does it for a whole season.
So is this the Nomar/Jeter/A-Rod trio of this generation?

And also that 4 of the top 10 are shortstops.
Hopefully they'll be better shortstops than that trio. Alex is a 3rd baseman now, though he was moved entirely too early. Nomar goes down all too often. And Derek Jeter's positional worth is artificially inflated on the defensive spectrum by Gold Jokes, I mean, Gloves.
